Deepak nailed it! I understand now what I was feeling when I first heard Obama speak... he reached that place inside of us all that knows what is possible when we trust our higher selves. Sadly though, now that voters have Palen to distract them, I don't think they will vote for the change Obama could provide for all the reasons Deepak suggests. I often feel lately that this election has taken on an American Idol theme with just as much depth.
